Meet with your group and advisor on your own. Mandatory attendance on the “Dead Day” to present your work orally. Classroom: ENGR 189 (For Final Presentations Only!) Prerequisites: 198A with a C or better Due Dates: Project Oral Report due to Irma Alarcon, and submitted to blackboard by 5pm May 17’th 2010. Presentations will be on May 18’th 2010 in room 189. Project Written Report due to Blackboard and your advisor by 5pm May 17’th 2010. Course Description Implementation of group design projects initiated in EE 198A. Oral and written reports. Course Goals and Student Learning Objectives Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Design a system, device or component (c,k) 2. Fabricate a system, device or component (c,k ) 3. Test a system, device or component(c ,k) 4. Work in a team. (d)R 5. Research an Electrical Engineering topic (i,j) 6. Write individual engineering reports (g) 7. Write final Engineering Team reports(g)8. Orally present Engineering ideas and results(g) The course requirements are: • Carry out the project proposed in EE198A within specifications. • Pass a skill-audit exam (80%). • Meet with your advisor regularly as per his or her instructions. • Grading o If you do not finish your project you will be graded according to how much of the proposal you fulfilled. I grades will only be given for not following the presentation rules. o Go/No Go In class Skill-audit exam. Students must pass this exam with a 80% to receive their 198B grade1. The exam will be given multiple times. Students must take on-line skill audit exam before attempting in class exam. o 25% Written proposal. Your proposal will be judged by your project advisor and one other EE faculty. o 25% Oral presentation. Your presentation will be judged by your project advisor and one other EE faculty. o 50% Advisor evaluation. ThisGE/SJSU Studies Learning Outcomes (LO), if applicable Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: LO2 Demonstrate the ability to apply the practice of Engineering in real-world problems. Course Content Learning Outcomes • The students are able to apply knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework to identify, formulate, and propose a sound solution to an engineering problem (c,k) • The students have an understanding of ethics, social implication of engineering, and the need for life-long-learning (i,f) • The students can function in teams and can communicate effectively. (g) Topics: • Team work and life-long learning • Communication skills ABET outcomes The letters in parentheses in the course learning objectives refer to ABET criterion 3 outcomes satisfied by the course. These are listed below as a reference: 1 Non-EE students may take the skill audit exam for their own knowledge, but do not have to pass it, given that non-EE students will not have had all the required EE courses.(a) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs (d) An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (e) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (f) An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (g) An ability to communicate effectively (h) The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context (i) A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning (j) A knowledge of contemporary issues (k) An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice (l) Specialization in one or more technical specialties that meet the needs of companies (m) Knowledge of probability and statistics, including applications to electrical engineering (n) Knowledge of advanced mathematics, including differential and integral equations, linear algebra, complex variables, and discrete mathematics (o) Basic sciences, computer science, and engineering sciences necessary to analyze and design complex electrical and electronic devices, software, and systems containing hardware and software components Required Texts/Readings Textbook NA Other Readings Classroom Protocol Cell Phones: Students will turn their cell phones off or put them on vibrate mode while in class. They will not answer their phones in class. Students whose phones disrupt the course and do not stop when requested by the instructor will be referred to the Judicial Affairs Officer of the University.Computer Use: In the classroom, students are allowed to use computers only for class-related activities. These include activities such as taking notes on the lecture underway, following the lecture on Web-based PowerPoint slides that the instructor has posted, and finding Web sites to which the instructor directs students at the time of the lecture. Students who use their computers for other activities or who abuse the equipment in any way, at a minimum, will be asked to leave the class and will lose participation points for the day, and, at a maximum, will be referred to the Judicial Affairs Officer of the University for disrupting the course. (Such referral can lead to suspension from the University.) Students are urged to report to their instructors computer use that they regard as inappropriate (i.e., used for activities that are not class related). Academic Honesty: Faculty will make every reasonable effort to foster honest academic conduct in their courses. They will secure examinations and their answers so that students cannot have prior access to them and proctor examinations to prevent students from copying or exchanging information. They will be on the alert for plagiarism. Faculty will provide additional information, ideally on the green sheet, about other unacceptable procedures in class work and examinations. Students who are caught cheating will be reported to the Judicial Affairs Officer of the
